Job Description

Jobandtalent

Jobandtalent is a digital platform which aims to transform the labor market and make it more efficient and fair.We
want to help companies hire the best professionals in a more flexible
way, improving their productivity while helping millions of workers
increase their employability, income and quality of life.

The great challenge of the employment market

Our
mission arises as a response to the current employment market, which is
changing at a great speed, becoming more flexible and temporary, and
being threatened by the great changes that will generate the irruption
of artificial intelligence and robotics that will impact thousands of
people, companies and millions of workers.

Consequently,
companies need to adapt their workforce to the increasingly dynamic
needs of the market. However, this flexibility generates two major
problems:

Lack of protection and motivation of workers in the absence of a permanent job and disaffection by the company that hires them.

Inefficiencies
and costs for companies as a consequence of the lower unemployment of
less motivated, trained and committed workers, which translates into an
increase in recruitment, management and training costs, as well as an
increase in absenteeism and labor costs.

The solution to the employment market of the future

Our
solution to the problem is simple in its approach: We want to ensure
that companies can hire the best workers in a flexible manner, so they
can improve their productivity. This increase in productivity will
translate into better conditions for workers, thus generating a positive
retroactive circle: more productive companies workers with better
conditions.Jobandtalent
has created a digital platform to make this vision a reality, giving a
unique and sustainable solution to both companies and workers:

Workers
see the Jobandtalent platform as their new employer that provides them
with new opportunities to continue working, assuring them different jobs
throughout the year and improving their employability, which boosts
their motivation and makes thousands of unemployed people return to have
a job opportunity.

Companies
can count on the best workers in a flexible way, adapting their
workforce to their needs, generating a positive impact on their
productivity.

All this is possible thanks to the technology we have created, based on 5 pillars: 1. An algorithm that matches workers with real-time offers in the app. 2. A database with all our workers with a rating system based on big data analytics. 3. A digital contracting process that allows the worker to sign his contract in the app and upload all the necessary documents. 4. A CRM for the calculation and automatic payment of payroll. 5. Tools and algorithms for optimizing schedules and monitoring performance.
